McDermott’s Insulting Remarks During IRS Hearing
McDermott Remarks on IRS Hearing
Opinion by AAABTonto:
Many of you remember Jim McDermott as “Bagdad Jim” … the happy congressman who sided with Sadam Hussein in the Iraq war? Well, the esteemed Representative Jim McDermott spoke at the Ways and Means Committee Hearing on Organizations Singled Out by the IRS and scolded the witnesses for applying for their group’s tax exemptions and then chided them for thinking that they should be subsidized with government money.
This may be the most outrageous and condescending thing I have ever heard in my life and it is beyond infuriating. These people were exercising their right to participate in politics and free speech entirely within the confines of the law. They were singled out solely for their beliefs as Christians and conservatives. The IRS admitted this and yet, Jim ‘pompous ass’ McDermott felt it necessary to literally wag his finger at these people and blame them for their victimization. Further more, these people weren’t asking for “free money” from the government–they fund the government! Apparently Jim has forgotten just where in the hell the government gets its money!
The citizens provide the government with their funding and the government is supposed to be the servant of the people. It is quite obvious that McDermott does not respect this fact and neither do the rest of the beltway clowns whose elitist conceit entitles them to lord their power over us. It is time to show them just who is really in charge. Both Republicans and Democrats despise the Tea Party, because the Tea Party is going to upset the beltway applecart.
Mark Styn filled in for Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday and called for completely overhauling the tax system and suggested requiring judicial approval for certain actions regarding tax collection.
